D.L. Hughley (Scary Movie 3) stars in this hard-hitting drama as Ben - a young teacher who is haunted by his past and desperate to get his life back in order. His chance comes when a friend helps him secure a teaching position at the Riker's Island Prison.

But his student;s outlook on life is as bleak as their future and Ben has trouble reaching them - until he discovers their connection with the poetry of rap music. An unlikely friendship grows between them, but for teacher and students, the hardest lesson is still to come.

Knock-out performances from the entire cast add weight to this powerful drama that's bound to be enjoyed by any fan of films like 187, Lean On Me and Dangerous Minds.
